We will ride out through Allestree and through the grounds of Kedleston Hall, up Buckhazels Lane and on to Over Burrows, Osleston, Sutton on the Hill and Hilton. The return journey will be along the Great Northern Cycle Way. as the title suggests there will be hills but they are pretty steady and add up to around 1000feet over the 25 miles. We will stop at Point 6 Cafe towards the end of the ride.

This ride is a real mixture - some busier roads will be encountered but it's mostly along quiet country lanes which are very varied in condition - there are a fair few pot holes to keep us on our toes. The Great Northern Cycle Way is a hard packed gravel trail which is traffic free.

Helmets are advised - I will be wearing one. The Covid Bit - This ride will adhere to the current social distancing requirements at all times, from car park to cafe and including stopping at junctions. Please bring everything with you that you might need on the ride eg spares, tools, extra clothing, snacks and drink, sharing is not encouraged. There is no need to wear a mask on the ride but one will be required for the cafe stop or for a mechanical so it's probably best to have one handy. Please do not ride if you feel unwell, have Covid symptoms or have been advised to self isolate. If you test positive after the ride, please let the ride leader know.
